FleetMatics adds data mining to GPS tracking

— filed under: ,

Addition of data mining capabilities, mobile phone applications and software improvements mark GPS tracking company FleetMatics latest version 7.0 software.

  

The cornerstone of the new release is Panoramic Reporting. This data mining tool gives clients the capability to analyse idling time, mileage and speed and engine-on time for every machine tracked since installing FleetMatics GPS. Clients can use this data to determine the full impact of GPS on their business and quantitatively compare employee performance.
Jim Travers, FleetMatics CEO said, “Panoramic Reporting is a feature unique to FleetMatics 7.0. It gives our clients more control than ever over productivity and allows them to quickly identify cost leakage.’
Another major enhancement is the launch of FleetMatics Mobile. Users can now track their fleet from practically any Internet-enabled mobile phone. Any time, anywhere access to machine performance allows for immediate reaction to improper usage, the company says.
Other enhancements include the ability to watch the route replay of any machine movement from any report with one click, immediate tracking of any vehicle/machine mentioned in a report, instant emailing of any report to multiple recipients, the ability to see every vehicle/machine that goes to a specific location and new alerts when a power take-off (PTO) is in use.
As with all FleetMatics upgrades, current clients receive FleetMatics 7.0 at no additional charge with free, unlimited training on the new features.
Travers said, “Our clients have benefited from recent partnerships with Google for enhanced mapping and ViaWest for improved platform stability. This is why we claim one of the highest renewal rates in the industry.”
FleetMatics is a rapidly growing venture-backed telematics company with offices in the US, Ireland and the UK. The company’s fleet tracking software system provides customers with real-time information about their mobile assets anytime/anywhere, 24/7. More information: www.fleetmatics.com.
